Route Description for Troutbeck Tongue Walk

The Troutbeck Tongue Trail is a popular walk in the Lake District for outdoor enthusiasts looking to bag an easy Wainwright with pleasant views that sweep across the lush green landscape of the valley. The trail sets out from Troutbeck village and heads to the northeast along Ing Lane, following it along the waters of Trout Beck before crossing Hagg Bridge into Troutbeck Park. Continue to the north, as the trail will begin to steepen on the uphill climb leading to the summit of Troutbeck Tongue. After taking in the views of the sleepy valley, follow the alternate path down the hillside to meet back up with the main trail and follow it back into the village where you began your adventure.
